confused
Now I am totally confused. My doctor has told me I have a stress fracture in my right leg, most probably caused through taking the Arimidex tablets. She prescribed Protos to try and build up the bone...
Chris,
Although Arimidex lessens the chances of reoccurrance, once has to look at one' s individual statistics. My onc respected my opinion not to take it - yes, I said No to it - because with my grade of cancer and size of it, etc, and the fact that I did 6 wks of radiation, the reduction in risk if I took Arimidex was only 1-2% overall. Not much for all the trouble, eh? So I decided not to exacerbate my existing aches and pains and flushes! If I took it, I knew it would only be a matter of time before I was on antidepressants and bone builders to counteract it.
So far, so good, 18 months since the cancer and feeling great,
